This series of blocks provided quite a learning experience!
It was time to tackle the applique process. In Block 25, Sunday Best, I experimented with different machine applique stitches to use on the raw edge applique.
In Block 26, Dreaming of Dresdens, I used invisible machine applique around the turned applique edges.
Perhaps the most challenging block, though, was Block 28, Stitching Fashion.
Although I tried to complete this block using a different method, I found that following Charise Randell’s suggestion of cutting the individual templates to size and adding the 1/4″ around the template was the best! Note to self: listen to the expert!<
